You mentioned mandatory reporting. Not everyone is a mandatory reporter. The list is extensive, but generally they are people that work with children or are medical or psychological professionals. You probably don't /have/ to report. Whether you /should/ is not a question any of us can... View More

I do not practice in your state, but I can talk generally about the valuation of damages. For simplicity's sake, you should assume you have two types of damages. First, you have your actual damages. How you were demonstrably injured. This can be in lost wages and opportunities, it can be... View More

You should have clear, written policies about your expectations and the consequences. They should be applied uniformly to everyone. California employment is generally "at will" meaning you can fire and they can quit at any time. You can fire for any or no reason, with some limitations:... View More

If your pay period is twice a month or once every two weeks, then that number of hours will put you into overtime. Mr. Pedersen's answer is more specific as to the details on the ways you can get into overtime territory, but 101 hours in two weeks will necessarily put some portion of those... View More

Almost all employment in California is "at will." You can quit at any time, and the employer can fire you at any time, and for reason. The exceptions are when the termination violated public policy, such as firing someone because of a protected characteristic, such as race, ethnicity,... View More

The maximum sanction that you can ask for is your attorneys fees and costs. If you are pro per, you have no attorneys fees to collect, so you will be limited to "costs." For you that probably means your $60 motion fee (presuming you paid one, if you have a fee waiver this is not... View More

If you have a lease, your lease is unaffected by the new ownership. It will remain in effect. At the end of the lease term, the landlord may want to change the terms of any new lease. If those terms include a large rent increase or effectively force you out of the unit, then you may want to talk... View More

You do have legal rights if the unit is not up to Code or the maintenance work has created a dangerous condition. Your first step is to talk to the landlord or property manager. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you can contact a local landlord-tenant lawyer. This said, your most... View More

Talk to a stock broker, preferably in person. There is no shortage of them in your area. Assuming the certificates are valid, you probably want to open up a brokerage account and deposit those shares into that account. Then you can easily sell them, option them, collect dividends, exercise... View More

You need to speak to a lawyer in person about this, because this can't be addressed in a simple Q&A format. The big problem here is that there are rules that govern doctors and how they can form medical partnerships. There may be a way of accomplishing your objectives, but it may need to... View More

To evict someone you have to have a superior right to possession of the property than the person you are trying to evict, and the proper legal grounds to do so. If your friend's uncle has some ownership interest in the property, or he is acting on behalf of someone who does, then he likely... View More

I'm confused by the citizens arrest mention in your title. From the body of your question, it sounds like you got a ticket and have a hearing date. Your options are to not contest the citation and pay the ticket, show up yourself and argue the merits of the infraction, or retain an attorney... View More

You will need to follow the unlawful detainer process, which is the awkward way we say "eviction." Generally speaking, this will require a legal notice to the tenant to pay his rent or some other ground to evict him. These are often short notices, 3 to 5 days. If the tenant... View More

If you vacate, or just stop paying the rent, they can sue you for damages. The likely measure of damages is the amount of rent they lose until they re-rent the space or reasonably could have re-rented the space or the lease term is over, whichever is the smallest number. If you have the right to... View More

Can he be arrested, it sounds like it. How and whether it proceeds to criminal charges is up to the District Attorney.

The DA wouldn't be the person to start a class action. Could a private individual? Probably not. A class action is only appropriate when the number of plaintiffs are too numerous for conventional for conventional joinder--as a rough rule of thumb, if you can fit them in the gallery on the...

I'm not sure that there is a question. You have this posted in medical malpractice, until you have a second medical opinion, you aren't going to have any basis to know whether there was any malpractice at all. Doctors cannot guarantee perfect outcomes or perfect performance, but they do... View More

I'm not sure what the question is. The statute of limitations for fraud in California is three years, which accrues from the time there are both damages and discovery. Discovery occurs when the person discovers they have been injured or reasonably should have.

California courts will generally enforce forum selection clauses if the contract has a reasonable connection to the forum. The bigger problem here that California doesn't have any power to enforce a judgment (jurisdiction) over a Mexican state agency.

Yes you have to respond to the interrogatories. The request for the production of documents, yours or the other parties', has no effect on your obligation to respond to the existing interrogatories. They are independent, but complimentary discovery sets.
